Dynamic Cluster Wide Subsystem Engagement Using a Tracing Schema

摘要

A method of invoking an action in response to encountering a tracepoint of an executing application including: encountering a tracepoint of an executing application at a processor of a computer node; receiving tracepoint data at a tracepoint interpretation utility, wherein the tracepoint data includes metadata that describes the state of the processor; analyzing the metadata associated with the tracepoint data to determine whether the metadata further includes action data that describe whether further action should be taken, wherein the action data describes an action other than buffering the tracepoint data; and when it is determined that the metadata includes action data, invoking one or more actions associated with the action data.

1. A method of invoking an action in response to encountering a tracepoint of an executing application comprising:
encountering a tracepoint of the executing application at a processor of a computer node; receiving tracepoint data at a tracepoint interpretation utility, wherein the tracepoint data includes metadata that describes the state of the processor; analyzing the metadata associated with the tracepoint data to determine whether the metadata further includes action data that describe whether further action should be taken, wherein the action data describes an action other than buffering the tracepoint data; and when it is determined that the metadata includes action data, invoking one or more actions associated with the action data.
